Blowing pot smoke at Red Rocks — during “Top Gun”

Dusk at the granddaddy of Colorado outdoor screenings, Film on the Rocks at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. (Denver Film Society.)

Thank you, stoner nation, for ruining what otherwise would have been a perfect evening at Film on the Rocks recently.

Thanks to the stoner who sat behind us blowing pot smoke onto my 12-year-old son. Didn’t you notice that he spent half the movie with his shirt collar pulled up over his nose?

And thanks to the stoner sitting to our right who exhaled a giant cloud of pot smoke onto my 10-year-old son. Was it really necessary that I yell at you to get you to stop? Haven’t you heard of edibles? Or a vapor pen?

We won’t be coming back to Red Rocks as a family anytime soon. I truly feel sorry for folks who can’t even enjoy “Top Gun” without getting stoned. Are you even aware that the law doesn’t allow you to smoke pot in public?

Mike Freeman, Evergreen
